Website: Environmental Engineering
Degrees and Diplomas Offered: Postgraduate Diploma (P.G.D.), M.Sc., M.Eng., and Ph.D.
The
Division of Environmental Engineering is an interdepartmental and an interdisciplinary association of faculty based in the College of Engineering.
The expectations of society and direct pressure
from industry have generated a demand for the technical ability to solve a wide range of environmental problems. It is difficult to provide a concise definition of environmental engineering because it
covers such a wide spectrum of problems. For example, the following are some areas of study in environmental engineering that could be pursued by students in the Division of Environmental Engineering:
- Waste water treatment and disposal for municipal systems
- Water supply for human and industrial consumption
- Wind engineering and atmospheric dispersion of pollutants
- Industrial waste from manufacturing and processing
- Waste management from mining and the petroleum recovery
- Groundwater contamination, remediation and containment
- Surface water management and pollution control
- Reduction in toxic emissions from forest products and pesticide plants
- Automobile emissions and alternative fuels
- Building energy conservation
- Agricultural practices, fertilizers, feedlots, etc.
- Development of energy alternatives and energy conservation
- Improving efficiency of manufacturing processes
- Urban land use
